The Black Death

Chapter seven

Week one
Malcolm and John coming to my office to talk about when we're going to go down to the basement, John suggested to go after ships are done and when the warden is out so we don't risk getting caught down there and losing our jobs and I'm risking the whole operation Malcolm reminds us what we're doing this for and why were doing this. After they leave I take out a bottle of vodka and take a big sip from it and then another and another.
"What am I supposed to do" I said "Mandy I wish you were here to tell what the right thing would be"
I get threw my day and meet Malcolm and John in the basement hall way
"You guys ready for this" I said a little nervous
"Hell no i'm not ready for this, what if he's making them into fucking mutants that's look fucking crazy or swapping body parts. I don't wanna see that shit" John said
"I mean he has a point Adam maybe we just...not go down there" Malcolm said
"We need to for Anna and for every patient here that will suffer or is suffering" I said but also scared shitless
We all started down the hall but as we get further and further down we start to smell something horrible and the smell it's stronger and strong the further we go
"What the hell is that smell" John asked
"Death" I said
"How do you know" Malcolm asked
"One of my old patients killed there selves and we couldn't find him till a month later and it smelled like this" I said
"Damn doc you just can't keep a patients alive can you?" John said
"Apparently not" I say

We keep walking until we get to this door and the smell is coming from the other side we hesitantly open the door and the smell hits us like a tone of bricks, we walk in and what we see almost makes us cry, angry and throw up all at once
"I fucking called it, should have bet money on it" John said

There are pictures of the human mind and body parts all over and bodies hanging from the walls by there wrists some with different parts were there own should be. There are three operating tables with bodies on them ones stomach was cut open with its insides out of its body, the other had its head replaced by someone else's, and the third had nothing wrong with it he had no cuts or anything on him just line marks on where he's going to be cut

"Shit that means he's going to come back soon" Malcolm said
"Fuck he's still alive" John said as he's check for a pulse
We start to get out of there before anyone comes back but then we stop before getting to the door
"We're all thinking the same thing aren't we?" I say still standing facing the door
"We can't just leave him there" Malcolm said
"Yes we can, right" John said
"Right" Malcolm and I say
"Good then why the fuck aren't we moving" John said
"cause we can't just leave him" I said
We go back to the guy get him up over Malcolm and I shoulders and try to get out as best we can. Luckily we got out before anyone came back, we drop the guy off at the hospital and told the nurses we just found him we file a report under Anonymous and go our separate ways for the night.
I got home to drink a whole bottle of whiskey and fall asleep on the couch, the next day we meet up with Lana and Bradly to should them what we should cause we were taking pictures and videos the whole time and Lana threw up on what she saw and Bradly just had the same looks we did as we entered the room

"Okay great but we need more, we need to prove that the warden is responsible or Part of that torture room" Bradly said
"So you guys believed everything Anna said and about the trail?" I asked
"The people that really knew we knows that she wouldn't do something so horrible, she loved her family" Lana asked
"So how did you guys serve?" Malcolm asked
"You guys don't remember who walked into the house and found everyone?" John said
"You guys found them?" I asked
"We did, Anna was in the basement hiding with a knife as to what the cops said" Lana said
"But she's was terrified of basements she would never go down one alone" I said
"exactly, what I tried to tell the cops but they wouldn't listen it's was like they already had the story they were going to tell only questioned us so it looked like they did there job" Bradly said

I walk over to Lana who's looking out the window

"It's been hard for us" she says still looking about the window
"I'm sorry that you lost her, how did all you guys meet" I asked
"It's still hard doctor not the right time" she said

I turn around to see Bradly

"It might be hard on us but not as much as it's been on him" she said "after this whole thing is over we plan to go our separate ways"

"He understandable has walls up" I said
"He loved her, anyone would do that" she said

I remember my wife and remember how I was when she died, I know what he's going threw and believe he just needs someone who understands what he's going threw. I walk over to him
"hey" I say sitting next to him
"Hi doc" he said still looking at his phone
I look over to see he's look at pictures and videos of Anna
"Is there something I can help you with doc" he said still looking at his phone
"I just wanted to say I know what your going threw and if you ever wanted to talk.." I say but he interrupt me
"You door is always open? Listen no disrespect but you have no idea what I'm doing threw! Your here to help us finish what my girl started and I don't wanna see anyone of you again" he says before he gets up and leaves the room
"What was that about" Malcolm said walking over to me
"He's hurt and grieving it's normal for him to lash out" I said

Malcolm walked out the same door Brady went out

"Hey" I say leaning over the railing with Bradly
"Now you" he says
"I don't know what your going threw the last girl I loved cheated instead of dying but the doc in there he does" I said "he lost his wife while giving birth to there son and he lost his son two hours later"
"That's terrible" he said
"Yeah so take it easy on him" I said
I walk back in to the doc and tell him to go out and talk to him, I walk next to Bradly and lean on the railing with him
"I'm sorry for your loss" Bradly says looking at his phone again
"Same for you" I replied
"I met her threw friends, we were hanging out as a group and she came in with the rest of everyone that was going to hang out. At first we did talk to each other but after a few times we hung out with the group she came up to me and started talking we became friends almost instantly. She was this socially awkward weirdo, that loved animals. We started talking over the phone and I just couldn't get enough of talking with her, when we hung out alone together I really didn't want to bring her home cause I didn't want it to end. She was so shy and nervous around me it was the cutest thing, she told me what happened to her and I told her somethings went threw and it was just easy to talk to her. We had a best friend relationship doesn't mean we didn't have our ups and downs but I loved her fairly quickly" he said holding back tears "and when I got your call I knew I lost her forever, I freaked out the last thing I said to her was I loved her and everything would be alright. It's like a part of me died with her, we planned all these things together a life, a place, a family. The thought of what happened makes me angry, the sound of her name makes break down. I can't stop looking at her pictures and videos, I miss her voice, smile, laugh, how she used to text me asking me that if I knew she loved me or how we would talk about each other in the third person or like we were talking about each other to someone else to each other." He says crying
"I would like to give you something" I said taking a recorder out of my pocket
"Whats this for?" He says confused
"It's from a session I had with her, talking about you" I say before walking inside so he can listen to it alone

The doc walks away and I hesitantly push play on the recorder
Pushes play on the recorder
"So Miss. Marshal did you have a boyfriend before everything that happened?" The doc said
"Yes I did I loved him very much" Anna says
When I heard her voice I feel to the floor and a tear rolled down my face but I kept listening
"Tell me about him" the doc said
"He was amazing the perfect boyfriend, he made me laugh we I didn't want to could never have a Boring moment with him. He made me feel alive and free, he liked almost the same things I did. He was very romantic" Anna said still talking about me
"Sometimes I felt like I'm not good enough for him cause how amazing he is" she continued to say
My heart shattered when she said that
"Why do you say that Miss.Marshal?" The doc asked
"Cause I can never understand what kind of girl could let a guy like him go or not appreciate a guy like him, I love everything about him and who he is" Anna says
"If he was here right now what would you say to him?" The doc asked
"That I love him and that I like the name Nani" Anna said
The tap ends and I just sit there with tears in my eyes
Three days later
"Hey doc it's Bradly everything is almost set up, we haven't heard from you for a few days" Bradly voice mail said
